NATIONAL INSPECTION COUNCIL FOR ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION CONTRACTING (NICEIC)
“NICEIC is the UK’s leading voluntary regulatory body for the electrical contracting industry. It has been assessing the electrical competence of electricians for nearly sixty years and currently maintains a roll of over 26,000 registered contractors.
Our contractors undergo a rigorous assessment process, covering a representative sample of their work, their premises, documentation, equipment, and the competence of their key supervisory staff. They are then re-assessed on a regular basis to ensure continued compliance”.
The Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme - CHAS
“CHAS is established as the market leader for health and safety pre-qualification in the UK. It is available to suppliers (those who provide goods and services) and to organisations (buyers) looking for suitably competent suppliers.
Membership includes the public sectors: health trusts, emergency services and government departments and large private companies.
CHAS isn’t just for construction companies, it assesses health and safety for all types of suppliers, from care services to demolition contractors, designers and consultants”.
“Constructionline is a Government run scheme. Each month thousands of contractors and consultants apply for work with public and private sector organisations. In order to be awarded the relevant contract, the companies and individuals applying must meet health and safety standards.
To avoid each individual contract having to assess individual suppliers’ health and safety competence, the Constructionline Scheme has been developed. Upon becoming Constructionline approved then duplication is reduced as all Constructionline buyers accept proof of competence”.
“ When you find a TrustMark builder in London, a plumber in Manchester, an electrician in Edinburgh or any other TrustMark tradesman in the UK, you can rely on the fact that they will be complying to TrustMark’s Government endorsed standards
A firm's technical skills have been independently checked through regular on-site inspections, as well as checks on their trading record and financial status;
If a firm displays our TrustMark logo you know that we have approved and inspected the firm through one of our scheme operators and found that the firm meets the required Government endorsed criteria”.
